Meet Frost! Frost is a sweet, gentle boy who came from a large cat colony of about 40 cats. He is a little more reserved and is still learning that people can be trusted, but he is slowly coming out of his shell and showing us more of his sweet personality every day. Frost will need a patient, understanding family who is willing to let him come out of his shell at his own pace. A calm, gentle approach, plenty of patience, and a safe environment will help him continue to build confidence and learn that he is finally home.Because of Frost’s sensitive nature, he would do best in a quieter home with teenagers or older and no young children.

I am very timid and it takes me much longer to get comfortable with humans. I am a little smaller than my sister Singe. We are bonded and will need to find a FURRever home together. I like to watch and observe playtime - but eventually, I can't resist the feather wand or chasing anything that moves especially my little squeaky mouse. You may wonder how we came upon the names of Singe & Soot - when we were rescued as kittiens, we were covered in ashes from something we got into. Thankfully we weren't injured, just very dirty.

I love to play with anything that moves, if it's not moving....no worries....I can fix that!! I am active and playful with my littermates. I often seek out my foster mom for love, attention and cuddles. I have been around other cats and a large breed dog in my foster home without out any problems.

I am very playful and I LOVE my toy balls and mice to chase. I love to nap with my sister Posie when it's time to settle down. I only like to be held for a short time. I am more independent and do not seek attention from my foster mom as much as my sister does. I have been around other cats and a large breed dog in my foster home without out any problems.

I am playful and very active with my littermates. I don't mind being held - just not for too long. I will often entertain myself with toys and I love to chase the feather wand. I really love all things soft for cuddles. I have been around other cats and a large breed dog in my foster home without out any problems.

Sugar Bear & SweetPea:approximately 14 weeks old; brother and sister; fully vetted; spayed/neutered; bonded and must be adopted together.
A quiet, patient home would be ideal.
These babies have already made it from living outside to learning that humans can bring warm beds, toys, Churu and love.
Now they just need the person who will give them the time they need to realize that home means they’re safe forever.

Good with cats.

Meow, and hello out there! My name is Lucky and I am from a litter of 3 kittens found without our mom when we were very young. We have been raised by humans (and a foster mama cat) and consequently love people! I am around 4.5 months old as of early September. I am a purr machine when my foster mom touches me! When I am not causing chaos or wrestling my siblings, I love to just hang out on my foster mom’s lap while I recharge my batteries. I also love my foster mom’s 7-year-old boy kitty. I would like to be adopted with one of my siblings (Spark and Lucy) or as a companion for a young cat looking for a wrestling buddy. All 3 of us are still learning that humans think our tiny teeth are sharp, so no young children right now, please.

David never stops purring! He is the first kitten to greet his people in the morning and is always waiting for visitors and love.Found with his friends in Poplar Bluff, David had a rough start to life. He and all of his friends, were underweight, covered in fleas and some even had ringworm. But with some TLC, they all gained weight, lost the fleas and got rid of the ringworm with no issues. We think David is about a week older than his friends that he came to Heartland with but he's always fit right in with all of them. We joke that David is so well behaved because he tries to be a perfect kitten so no one would suspect that he wasn't part of the litter.
